Right. Well .. Actually I'm not a physicist and regard this subject as a hobby. So I wouldn't call me 'scientist' - at least not in a professional sense. But you don't need to be a physicist to be able to say something about a scientific problem. Here we are discussing a scientific problem, which is 'plate tectonic vs. growing Earth'. Such discussion are not real science, since we don't conduct any experiment or measure something. And certainly I'm not able to travel to the Andes and measure the age of fossils. So you cannot expect anything of this type from me. But observations are also possible on e.g. google.earth or youtube and that is more of the type of resources by 'research' is based. Other sophisticated means are my computers, which are a little old and mainly refurbished scrap. So I do not plan to compete with established institutions in measuring tectonic plates. >> >> Science would be something like drilling a deep hole or putting >> something under a microscope.

You shouldn't think, that I'm unable to calculate. But prior to calculation should come a discussion about the content of that calculation and what it is supposed to provide. Since here we had the subject of measurement of the diameter of the planet from orbit. And we didn't agree about the method and whether or not such a measurement is possible. This is not really a mathematical problem. TH
